Let’s go through how to draw Kuromi smiling, a fun Sanrio character that mixes cute and mischievous energy in her design. In this 15-step guide, I’ll walk you through her look with simple proportions and easy-to-follow sketch lines.
Key Features to Sketch for Kuromi
- Species: White rabbit or imp-like creature
- Headwear: Black jester hat with pointed tips ending in small round balls
- Face: White with a small pink nose, confident eyes, and a smirk
- Accessory: Pink skull in the center of her hat (it changes expression depending on mood)
- Body: Compact and rounded white figure
- Tail: Black with an arrow-shaped end
Kuromi is the rival of My Melody in the Sanrio world. Her name translates to “black beauty,” fitting her gothic yet charming look. She first appeared wearing her black jester hat with a pink skull on top. Kuromi’s design connects with different subcultures like punk and goth, which helped her gain popularity far beyond traditional Sanrio fans.
Once you finish this sketch, you might also want to try drawing My Melody, Cinnamoroll, or Hanausa to build your Sanrio lineup.
